Most Delicious Pumpkin Pie Smoothie

I've been obsessed with pumpkin lately!!! I just crave it, so now I have a healthy way to eat it, cause eating a billion pumpkin pies was probably not a good idea :)

1/2 can coconut milk or about 1 cup, can use lite but I like the regular

1 cup pumpkin puree

1/2 - 1 (depending on size) frozen banana

1/4 cup pecans

1/2 tsp nutmeg

1/4 tsp pumpkin pie spice

1/4 tsp cinnamon

1/4 tsp cloves

1/2 tsp vanilla

about 2 Tbsp natural maple syrup (could use honey) or more, sweeten to taste.

1-2 cups ice

put it all in a blender and blend till smooth.

Roasted Pork Loin

This is one of my favorite Sunday dinners! It's super easy, doesn't take way long, and seems like you made something 'special.'  Any way, hope you enjoy!

Ingredients:
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
1/2 cup finely chopped celery
1/2 cup finely chopped green pepper
3 tbsps butter
6 garlic cloves, minced
1 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp dried thyme
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp ground mustard
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1 boneless pork loin roast (4-5 lbs) (I usually do a 2-3 lb one, which is plenty for us with leftovers)

In a skillet, combine the first 12 ingredients; saute until the veggies are tender. Separate roast and randomly cut several deep slits, about 1 inch wide, on the inside of the roast. Fill the slits with some of the veggie mixture; tie together (or I just place the back together, yeah I'm lazy like that). Place on a rack in a shallow baking pan. Spread remaining veggie mixture over roast. Bake, uncovered, at 325 degrees for 2-3 hrs (for a smaller roast it's about 1 1/2 hrs) or until meat  thermometer reads 160-170 degrees. Let stand about 10 mins before slicing.
